I've started to use my old laptop as our main one is currently broken down, sadly I have forgotten my administrator password on my laptop and can't access the files originally saved in that area nor do I have the privileges of using the administrator account.Another mistake is that I do not have a password reset key, or what ever it is called. So I have no idea on how to access my account.

i have three users on my start up page 2 administrators and 1 standard user. For the 2 administrators users i have forgotten the passwords. For the standard user i still have access to and can logon to the HDD but can not access any program files or even do any windows up dates due to USER ACCOUNT CONTROL i've been trying to access threw COMMAND PROMPTS but im not too familiar with the prompts terminology. and have gotten very frustrated with the CMD PROMPTS i know that if i can access threw the CMD i can remove the password for one or both of the administrator accounts an reset them threw the user accounts in the control panel i just cant seem to get past the UAC asking for my administrator password (WHICH I HAVE FORGOTTEN) nor can i seem to master the CMD PROMPTS either. also i no longer have the windows 7 disc which i used to install windows on the HDD.

I cant ever remember entering an administrator password in my Windows 7 acount names with a password. But it keeps coming up with an administrator name and asks for an administrator password.Can one be retreived or what other bypasses are there if any without rebooting.

I changed my administrator password on my Dell Inspiron N5110 last and can't remember it. Prior to changing it I set-up a guest account, I never set-up a user account. Will a password reset disk work on an administrator password? I can't even restore my computer to a past date or factory installation without knowing my administrator password.

We have a laptop at work that was never put on the network by my predecessor. It's running Windows 7. Basically, the person who used this laptop has now left and moved abroad. As he was the only user of the computer, nobody has his password, and there is data on there that is important and vitally required. I am trying to log on as Administrator, but when I boot into Safe Mode, the Administrator icon is not there as I'd expect. So I thought I'd try and boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt, and run net user administrator /active:yes. But I'm still presented with the normal welcome screen with just the one user icon, so can't do that either. How I get the administrator icon so I can logon?

I installed windows 7 on my laptop. in the process of setting up my account I deleted my adminstrator access. on the welcome screen it will show my admin name and when i use my password this is what is says:the user profile service service failed the logon. user profile cannot load.I have tried to reinstall windows but I need access to my account. Like noted above safe mode is black and says safe mode on the corners if this is fixable I plan to wipe my system to factory settings because everytime i installed windows before this issue it kept copying my harddrive and now I have less then a 1gb on my computer.

I forgot the password i have set for the administrator account. It's not the Administrator itself, but a personalized Administrator account. I'm currently using a non-admin account to use my Laptop.

The problem is that I had setup a domain on my laptop and then changed to home computer on windows 7 machine. It gave me a message that changes will come to effect after restart the machine, which I did. When it restarted it is asking me for admin password, which I don't remember and docent allow me to change the userid so that I can log back ( it shows admin I'd on the screen which I can't change).
Now I can't log back and have lot of important stuff on my laptop , don't want to reinstall and don't have a reset cd also

Running TSG SysInfo would be useless, because I am having to make the inquiry from an entirely different computer.The computer in question, however, is a Dell Inspiron desktop, running Windows 7. Five or six months ago, in setting my then-new Dell computer I evidently responded to a prompt by creating a bootup password, with an accompanying Hint. But through those months the computer never asked for the password, <b>until two days ago</b>. It prompted me with "wherehus", (the "hus" being "husband", referring to me) which I believe to be a truncated version of the hint I set up originally. It now suddenly wants the password. and why that change and why the hint is truncated, I have no idea. I apparently never wrote down what the password should be, like a natural-born fool.That hint had to continue with something like BORN, EDUCATED, SERVED IN ARMY, MARRIED, and the like. "BORN" could be Rochester, or Rochester Minnesota, or St. Mary's or St.Mary's Hospital or something like that. If it was "ARMY", the password would surely be Germany. And so on with names of grade and high school, university, or private business school, many of them having several possible "answers", as above. And maybe some other "wheres" that I can't think of. Of course any of those would be subject to capitalization, spacing, and/or punctuation. A password wilderness.I've worked over those possibilities exhaustively, and haven't struck the real password. I've more or less run dry with variations.That's not a technical problem that anyone could help with remotely, so I have to assume I am not going to come up with the password. And therein lies my present dilemma. I'm not asking for instructions in hacking the password back, as I know you won't do that. The computer came with Windows 7 installed, and I do have a brand-new, never-used, Windows 7 installation set, which I bought for a different computer but haven't installed because that computer doesn't have enough memory or hard drive space. Which leads me to a number of puzzlements:
1. Older versions of Windows, when installed, wiped out EVERYTHING on the hard drive, or at least left them irretrievable. I think I have heard that Windows 7 does not do that. Does anyone know?
If forced to it, I could live with a wiped-clean hard drive if that's what the new installation would do. I have or can get installation disks for the software, and recreating or retrieving the data from backups would be possible, though a pain in the neck.
2. But is it even going to be possible to install the new Windows 7, with or without the hard drive contents? Since I can't boot up, how can I run the Windows 7 installation CD(s)?
3. Where, if anyone knows, is the password stored? If it's in some semipermanent memory in the computer rather than on the hard disk, might I be stuck with that unknown password even after a new Windows 7 install?
4. Or even if I installed a different new hard drive and managed to install Windows 7, would I still be stuck?

After attempting to start my Laptop in Safe Mode, it loaded drivers normally only to crash a few seconds later. A prompt message appears but is impossible to read because Windows immediately reboots upon showing the prompt.

I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 home premium. I changed the password a few days ago and changed the computer name yesterday. After restart to get the computer name change to take, I can't login to the computer. I did not setup an admin acct and can't login that way. I tried F8 system repair to reset to factory settings but a password is required. I went to F2 and set a user password on security, but it only works to get into the function keys. I would like suggestions of what to do to get into my laptop. I didn't get a restore disc with the machine, but created a restore on an external hard drive.

Lost administrator password on windows 7. I must have accidentally mistyped my admin PW when trying to change it. I don't want to get locked out completely. I do not have a back up or restore/repair disc. Is there any way around it besides using the disc, or USB, or complete reinstall? Just wiped the HD and had to start over so don't really want to do that again. My personal account is just fine and I can access that. However, without admin pw, I am very very limited.

I recently changed my password to my new laptop, and for the life of me, I cannot remember it. Is there any way to get around this problem? I know that there is a thing where you can reset your password if you had set up the wizard thing for it, but I didn't do that.
